"Saotome..." Nabiki began, only to trail off when he looked back at her. His eyes were filled with way too much amusement for her tastes.
"About the dojo..." Soun growled, beginning the build up of ki for his demon head attack.
"Already taken care of." Chibi-Ranma grinned, wiping his mouth with his napkin. "Want a tour?"
Stunned, the Tendo family merely nodded in unison. Standing, they followed the boy outside.
The dojo had changed in appearance. Where before it was a grand structure of wood and style, now it was a shining beacon of modern technology. Pure, flat, shining walls of metal greeted the family in the morning sun. Too shocked to say anything, the group followed the child to the door.
"Okay, the first thing you have to do is introduce yourself to the security devices." Ranma stated. "Dojo security, scan and identify all present."
"Scanning." A metallic voice came from the metal door. "Scanning complete. Present are Tendos Soun, Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane. Also present is creator Saotome Ranma."
"Please set each Tendo at clearance level one." The boy said to the dojo.
"Acknowledged and set." The metallic building replied.
Nabiki knocked on the wall and frowned. "What's this thing made out of, Saotome? Too thick to be aluminum."
"You're right." Chibi-Ranma grinned at her. "It's something I whipped up all by myself. I call it... quadtanium." He finished with a flouresh.
The dojo door opened to allow the group access. As they walked in, they couldn't help but gasp at the display. The floor was covered in some sort of absorbant mat, the walls were hung with every weapon they could think of, and the lighting was simply fantastic.
"The atmosphere can be adjusted for temperature, humidity, and lighting." Ranma began. "It's also self-cleaning and self-repairing."
"What's it cost to operate?" Nabiki jumped in, her business sense finally coming back online.
"Relax." Ranma waved a hand at her dismissively. "I put it all on it's own nuclear power plant. You should be able to run it continuously for the next two thousand years before you have a problem."
"You put... one of THOSE in a dojo?" Akane screamed, shocked beyond her capacity to deal with.
"Hey, I don't have to put up with you yelling at me anymore!" Chibi-Ranma replied, crossing his arms and looking stern.
"Oh, yes, you do!" Akane snarled back. "You're my fiance!"
"YOU PEDOPHILE!" Ranma screamed back, pulling a mallet out of one of his sub-dimensional pockets.
